(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON New Battle Brews Add to your list of national fights worth watching one that is develop- ing between the American Legion and the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. The line of battle is drawn across the field represented by the veteran demand for payment of the federal adjusted service certificates and money spent on the care of disabled veterans. Representing the veterans is the American Legion with more than a} million members. The spear-head of the enemy thrust is the National Economy League of which Archie Roosevelt, son of the late president, is an active leader and lists some ex- servicemen in its membership. In a recent news release, under the heading “Clever Opponents Closely Allied with C. of C. of v. S. to incite tlass struggle,” the national legisla- tive committee of the American Le- gion says: “Four days after the senate economy bill was reported by the senate appropriations committee, | an organization calling itself “The National Economy League” on May 3ist presented to the presi- dent and the members of con- gress a petition calling for the elimination of expenditures of $450,000,000 for veterans of the Spanish-American and World wars, The information contain- ed in this brief parallels a report on “Military Pensions and Vet- erans’ Benefits” issued at the same time by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. “The National Economy League sets their figure at $452,154,544. The Chamber of Commerce changes this to $413,919,043. But the items set forth, where it is alleged the savings can be made, are identical. These two briefs show the perfect cooperation be- tween the two organizations.” The battle, begun at the last ses- sion of congress, will be renewed in| December and may continue to be bitterly argued for the next few Years or even longer. A par: of the show has been the letters of resignation from the Le- gion by some men in high positions. The fact that all of these have been made public bears some hint of po- litical maneuvering. On the opposite side is the fact} that 10,000 torn-up membership cards, were received by the Legion's na- tional headquarters after the Detroit convention of the veterans opposed the bonus payment in 1931 follow- ing President Hoover's plea. Two hundred thousand new members were enrolled by the veterans after the half-cash law went through and new names this year have far exceeded the much-publicized withdrawals. The theory of the Legion appears to be that it will trade one colonel for 8 100 privates anytime. Not Over Yet Although it has provided more arguments in the last five years than any other public question, the pro- hibition issue which will be decided for North Dakota this year at the November 8 election, has attracted present restrictive law has been abandoned. This is by no means the case. Both wets and drys must wait for the elec- tion returns to see what the temper of the people is on this subject. But whatever the decision, it is devoutly to be wished that the peo- ple will abide by it and join in a con- certed effort to handle the liquor traffic in a patriotic and intelligent manner. If we are to have legalized liquor the efforts of every good citizen should be directed toward secing that the laws are obeyed. If prohibtiion is to be continued | every one should do his bit to aid in making it effective. Having determined what they want the law to be, the people should stand by the majority decision. Stealing the Show Representatives of almost a million farm boys and girls will gather at the International Livestock Exposi- tion at Chicago November 26 to Dec- ember 3, and if the tendency dis- Played in recent years is carried for- ward they will steal the show. Each of the thousand 4-H boys and girls will be experts in one or more lines and exhibits from 45 states will be displayed. Why shouldn't they attract more attention than the prize beeves, sheep or horses which |may be displayed? They are vastly more important. For if agricultural America is to survive and prosper it needs the en- thusiasm and interest of the younger generation. This is fostered and | stimulated by 4-H club work, Farming is not only an occupation but a manner of living. At its worst it compares favorably with unem- ployment and privation in the cities, for the farmer raises products which he can use to stave off the attacks of the wolf, even though times may be difficult. AC its best, farming is an occupa- tion which offers independence andj} a competence. No one will ever ac- cumulate a large fortune on the/ farm but contentment and happiness | have sprung from the soil quite as{ often in the history of this nation as from city pavements. In the rehabilitation and restora- tion of agriculture the cooperation of everyone is desirable and perhaps even necessary, and in the vanguard is the modern, intelligent farmer who has made a brave battle against present conditions. And behind the farmer is his son and daughter, ap- plying the latest ideas to farm man- agement and pressing forward in the confidence that the mists which shroud the future will roll away to disclose a better day. Appearance at Chicago of the rep- resentatives of nearly a million farm boys and girls 1s enough to steal any show. In themselves they comprise the most significant and the most hopeful show in America. Italy, in asking cancellation of war debts owed this nation, probably wishes to have the world forget that tions at the peace table. She did not take sides in the great war until she had driven a bargain of a very selfish nature. Unlike the United States, which asked nothing for her services, Italy received many valuable consid- erations. It is high time these war debts were considered somewhat in retrospect. California wet Republicans will elect a dry Democrat senator or dry Democrats will elect a wet Repub- lican, according to the dope. Won- erful, that California climate. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other edito They are published without to whether they agree or di: with The Tribune's policies. The Federal Deficit (Chicago Tribune) The federal budget has been bal- anced only in theory, as the treasury report for the first quarter of the fiscal year plainly shows. The de- ficit in the three months beginning July 1 was $402,000.00. If it con- tinues at this rate throughout the year the deficit on July 1, 1933, will be_$1,600,000,000. The treasury experts suggest that the shortage will not be that great because of two so-called favorable factors. The first is a certain delay in the returns from the new excise taxes which were calculated to bring in 659 million dollars a year in addi- tion to the previous revenues of half a billion from this source. The total revenue from these miscellaneous less comment than the more spec- tacular things where personalities are involved. The reason for this, perhaps, is that nearly everyone has come to have a fixed idea on prohibition. The man who is for it or against it can- not easily be changed and it is im- probable that speeches or arguments will do other than intensify his ad- herence to the position he already has taken. The real purpose of the campaigns which have been waged, therefore, is to get the voters to the polls. The sentiment of the people may be for or against prohibition, but whatever it is it can be registered in only one way. That is by voting. The wets of North Dakota have had little or no organization and the arys are not much better off. Only the W. C. T. U. among the dry or- ganizations has mustered. sufficient energy to make a real campaign and its influence will be seen in the final result. “ Many persons séém to feel that re- peal of prohibition is a foregone con- clusion and that the real question tow is what shall be done after the f taxes was thus expected to be more than 1,100 million dollars, or, say, 275 million each quarter. In fact, the total revenue from miscellaneous taxes in the quarter just finished was 170 million, more than 100 mil- lion dollars less than the estimate. A good deal can be allowed for slow collections and a good deal more for seasonal variations in excise revenues without giving ground for the belief that the estimates will be even ap- proximately equaled by the actual receipts. The treasury’s other hope is that the new and higher income tax rates which will go into effect next March will produce more revenue than the old rates raised. The fact is that the treasury will be fortunate, indeed, if the higher rates produce even as much revenue as the old ones did, so drastic has been the reduction in in- comes, both corporate and personal. ‘The federal is confronting @ situation which har long been fam- ilar in and other cities. The soutces of tax revenue have dried up and in consequence the revenues have fallen off. No amount of rate can help matters much. ‘Therefore the only way in which the budget can be balanced is by reduc- ing expenses. Even the reduction of three-quarters of a billion in the an- nual outlay will scarcely turn the trick, as the returns from the first quarter plainly indicate. she was one of the most greedy na- | Picking Up a Passenger ink. Address Dr. William Brady, BLITHE AND CAREFREE THE _ LIFE OF A TAPEWORM The common tapeworm is the beef tapeworm, called Tenia saginata. This parasite seldom causes serious trouble in the human host, though} in some instances digestive disturb-| ance and simple anemia may occur. The life cycle of the tapeworm is! passed as follows: The larva is/| present in the meat in little spots no| larger than a raisin seed. Such spots) are called “measles,” or cysticerci, or! |bladder worms or hydatids—all jmeaning the same thing, a watery vescicle. Examined under magnifica- tion the “bladder worm” appears to be the head (not larger than the | head of a pin) and neck of the tape- {worm with a little watery sac at- tached. | The “measly” meat is eaten raw or} underdone (thorough cooking of the} ; meat would kill the larvae) and in | the stomach or intestine of man the larva develops into the adult tape- | worm, The head is equipped with no | hooks such as some other tapeworms have, and hence it is not difficult to ‘expel the worm. The worm grows in {links or segments, very small at the head end, increasing in size until they become flat oblong yellowish links as large as a pumpkin seed. The !entire tapeworm may reach a length jot many feet. Pieces consisting of lone or several links or segments are occasionally discharged. The finding of these unmistakable segments or the finding of the tapeworm eggs by microscopical examination, is the only positive evidence that an in- dividual has a tapeworm. Contrary to popular belief a tape- | worm does not rob its human host of any appreciable amount of nourish- ment, nor does emaciation or weak- ness of the host indicate that he has tapeworm. Indeed, most persons who are found harboring tapeworm are too well nourished. Voracious appe- tite is of course not at all suggestive of the presence of such a tapeworm. The eggs of the tapeworm dis- charged from the intestine of the host contaminate the ground or per- | haps the feed or pasturage of cattle, or possibly their water supply. The miscroscopic eggs are ingested by the cattle, develop into larvae in the stomach of the animal and penetrate the stomach walls and lodge in the muscles, also in the liver, heart and brains. Their presence seems to give | the bovine host no trouble as a rule. No treatment for tapeworm in- festation is advisabie or even safe without the personal supervision of your physician. Such “measly” meat may occasion- \ ally pass the regular government in- PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M.

Fanchon is shocked to learn that Tony is a racketeer, implicated in a recent murder. She, too, is now wanted. Fanchon escapes in an air- plane under the name of “Smith.” Evelyn Howard, whom she had met on the boat coming from Hawaii, is tboard. Evelyn is enroute to New York to live with her aunt, the wealthy Mrs. Carstairs, whom she has never met. After Fanchon con- fides in Evelyn, the latter treats her | coolly. he plane crashes and Fanchon is the only survivor. Sh¢ decides to escape Tony and the past and start life anew by masquerading as Evelyn. She requests a doctor to wire Mrs. Carstairs that “Evelyn” is | safe. A wire comes from Mrs. Car- stairs saying that Collin cannot meet Fanchon. Fanchon learns Collin is Mrs. Carstairs’ only son. Mrs. Car- itairs meets Fanchon at train ex- claiming “But you're not Evelyn, are you... You can’t be.” The girl’s terror of being discovered passes when Mrs. Carstairs explains | she couldn’t believe anyone so beautiful could belong in the family. CHAPTER X “I see now,” Mrs. Carstairs said laughing, “what a foolish mistake for me to make! It is really a very good likeness. But 1 thought the other girl was—you, You said... ‘the girl on the left.’ So it was your mistake as well, my dear.” | Fanchon said, low, and as steadily as she could, i “That was idiotic of me.” “Well, never mind.

Perhaps,” she your father’s people?” “I have heard so,” Fanchon said, honestly and took a deep breath of relief.

Good man, he wired me, quite on his own, and gave his orders. But 1 would have in- sisted anyway.” She went on, “I came up to the apartment to meet you.

'd love it,” said Fanchon, softly, CoprRiGHT 1931, BY FAITH BALDWIN’ FAITH BA Oh, she thought, what a miserable coward I am! She looked about her frantically. She had expected to meet consideration, kindness, duty. She could have faced that, could have rendered something in return, for a measure, a time, of safety. But to encounter this warmth of seeking, asking, wistful affection was almost more than she could endure: it was something she had so longed for since her father's death; something she had longed for all her life as well. Dear as her father had been to her, she had always dreamed silently and secretly of a gracious, beautiful understanding mother. And here was such a woman, the perfect answer to those childish dreams. But she was taking what was offered her under the most hideous of false Pretenses. She thought of Evelyn, of the shattered little body, gone by now perhaps to its lonely grave, surrounded by strangers. She put both hands to her face and shook with pity and despair and hatred of herself, “My dear.” said Mrs. Carstairs, gently, “L realize the strain you have been through, You must try and forget. And all the vanished years beside. You must begin all over again. With me.” Fanchon murmured something . .. “so terribly kind,” she said, “Kind! As if 1 could make up for all the years of neglect and un- kindness,” Jennie Carstairs told her strongly. “I never can. It is you who are kind, Evelyn. if you knew how 1 have longed all my life, for a daughter!

You are much lovelier] “OWa'd. She was not of this wo- man’s blood. But Evelyn was dead. You robbed the dead of nothing. Fanchon was alive. If she could be to this woman what Evelyn would have been; if, with her own longing for affection, for home and for safety, she could even be more than Evelyn would have been, would that not be counted, perhaps, in her favor? Evelyn, she knew, from the little she had seen of her, was less concerned with her emotional rela- tionship to her aunt than what that aunt held out to her in the way of promises of ease, luxury, money—a chance perhaps to marry well. With those things Fanchon had very little concern, What she wanted and what she was prepared to give in re- turn was something very different, something into which money and material things did not and could not enter, She spoke, stumbling a little over the unaccustomed form of address. “I—1 want to make 78 as happy, Aunt Jennie,” she said in her low, charmingly husky voice, “as you have made me already.” A little silence fell between them, And in it Fanchon vowed to dedi- cate herself to this woman's service, whatever it might be. Presently—"Here we are,” Mrs, Carstairs said blithely, “I'm putting you in one of the gues’ rooms for es own rooms are to be done over for you this summer.” “Gere” was an apartment on upper Fifth Avenue, a penthouse apart- ment overlooking the Park and the > LDWIN ‘— DISTRIBUTED BY KING FEATURES SYNDICATE, INC. reservoir. A man servant opened to them and Mrs, Carstairs said, “my niece, Miss Howard, Jameson.” Jameson, an elderly __person, seemed genuinely moved. He made Fanchon a curious, stilted little speech of welcome and Fanchon smiled at him, gently. She realized then that all’ her servants adored Jennie Carstairs. It was easy to see wh ameson,” explained Mrs. Carstairs, leading the way in, “has been with me for many years and so is one of the family, I brought him up from the country to look after us for a few days.” The apartment seemed enormous to Fanchon. She caught glimpses of a huge dining room, and music room, on one side, living room and library on the other, all opening off a square hall. These rooms, ex- plained Mrs, Carstairs further, all opened upon a terrace and Fanchon could see through the long French windows flowers blooming and small trees, gay chairs and couches and awnings. “I keep the apartment in livable shape,” Mrs. Carstairs went on, “as Collin runs in and out all sum- mer and must have a place to stay.” She hesitated and began again, her clear skin flushing. “Collin...” she went on, “is up North. You may have wondered why he isn’t in town to meet you?” “No,” said Fanchon with perfect truth, “I hadn’t wondered at all.” “L wrote you,” the other woman said, “about his attitude. But 1 would rather explain more fully later.” She took Fanchon into a lovely room on the second floor. It had a big connecting bath. “It is at the end of the hall from me,” Mrs, Carstairs told her. “Your own room, when it is ready, opens on the gallery and next to mine.” ._ © middle-aged woman was wait. ing in the room. “This is Emma,” Mrs, Carstairs told Fanchon, “she will look after you.” She had done so already. The bed was turned down) the windows. open to what cool air there was. A sheer nightgown and a negligee and slip- pers lay nearby. “I guessed at the size,” Mrs, Car- stairs said, “You are taller than 1 thought, but we will Manage to get some little frocks for you before we go down to the Island and with the minimum of discomfort.
